You know it's kind of surprising these guys didn't come back when trip hop was kind of big because their mix of soul, samples and electronics kind of fits in there. I could definitely hear Roland Gift's vocals in say a Mezzanine era Massive Attack track quite well.

Oh yes! Roland Gift would've been a great Massive Attack guest vocalist.

melancholy + 'funky drummer' sample + long held organ chords - this is practically trip-hop already

When Bruce's "Streets of Philadelphia" came out, it took me forever to figure out what it was reminding me of. Turns out it was this song.

boom - wouldn't have occurred to me and i suspect it's more convergent evolution more than anything else (change the drum sample and you're not far from 'justify my love')(so tempted to try to throw together a 'trip-hop not trip-hop' playlist together now). it's been forever since i listened to it but there has to be at least one track from listen w/o prejudice vol 1 that fits this pattern.

"Waiting For The Day," the third single, which also uses organ and a slightly decelerated "Funky Drummer" sample, not to mention interpolation of "You Can't Always Get What You Want."

You guys remember this? A #3 hit in the UK in '88. Top twenty dance here.

"I'm Not the Man I Used to Be" sounds like a lost Bee Gees demo.

I enjoy Monie Love's turn on the loopy breakbeat "Monie Love Mix" of She Drives Me Crazy.

Just remembered that my 90-min tape of The Raw & The Cooked had Simply Red's Men and Women on the b-side.
